Warrior Words | Stories of Hope | Finding Beauty After Battles & Thriving After Surviving Trauma

Welcome to Episode 6 of the Warrior Words podcast!
 
In today's episode, I had the opportunity to speak with Liz Birkeland about the difficulties involved in making the decision to have an abortion and the hidden battles that remain afterward. Many women experience guilt & shame, with both emotional and physical health issues.
Many women suffer in silence. Let's change that with compassion and grace! Women need to know there is hope and healing.

Welcome to Episode 5 of the Warrior Words podcast!
 
In today's episode, I got to speak with Cathy Jo Lang about the trauma of postpartum depression. This type of trauma has many new moms wondering if they are good moms. They may also be suffering in silence for fear of what others might think of them.
Many are afraid to ask for help. Let's change that!
